We made visit to the large concrete

The front room will be used by the

The back room will be occupied as a

gallons Of wine and two hundred gall
Ions OF brandy had been made this year,
although their establishment Is in an
unfinished condition. The wine made
from the Azusa grapes is pronounced by
all competent lu lges to be the best pro-
duct in any part of the State, and we
have been reliably informed that the

favor of our grapes, and the combined
knowledge of Mr.. Streshley, Wells ard
Justice, In the making of wines, we see
no reason why the Azusa winery should
not build up reputation for tiae wines
second to none in the State. In the
matter of fruits, this establishment l. a
a long felt want. With their immense
drying facilities, and the complete ar

no reason why our immense fruit crops

sBet you $40 on my bug,'
Five to two on the little un.'
s'Ges back and don't scare 'emt"
Such were the cries that greeted the
ears of a reporter as he passed the door
of a Cadillac square saloon recently and
caused him to turn back and enter. 1t
was a curious sight that met his eyes.
On the floor were drawn two coueentric
circles with chalk, one six and the other
about twelve feet in diameter. Within
the inner circle stopped two men. who
held each a teacup, bottom upward, on
the floor, their rims in contact and as
near the center of the dircle as possible.
Between the inner and outer circle stood
q fiashy dressed man with an open watch
in his hand, and without the outer cir
Gle were eighteen or twenty excited
spectators
"Are you ready" asked the man with
the watch.
ave are answered they of the cups.
s'One, two, three, go," said the time
keeper.
The two men in the inner circle SIM
ultaneously raised the cups and stepped
beyond the line revealing two cock
reaches, one considerably larger than
the other. The bugs seemed at first to
be thoroughly confused. running about
in circles and darting first in one direc-
tion and then in another. Suddenly,
however, the smaller rosch took a bee
line toward the bar. and crossed the
chalk line while the other insect WAS
still seeking its bearings. The greatest
confusion prevailed. as each trainer
deity covered his roach with a cup and
secured it, the captor of the smaller one
exclaiming.
s'Three out OF I've and the moaey Is
mine."
When the reporter asked an explanl-
tion the timekeeper said:
Didn't you ever see coczroach
race before. We have EN- here every
night. The roach that gets out OF the
ring first three times out OF nye Is the
winner. We generally play a dollar on
each heat, and a fiver on the race. Any
difference in reaches. Well, L should
smile, You couldn't buy that little one
for fifty cases. He's over $50 ahead in
the last month, and IS the eleyerest In

BOSS OF THE TULES.
a Hunters Adventure with n
Wild Boar.

William Christopher, a well-known
farmer of this county, arrived in town
on Monday afternoon with a curiosity in
the shape of the skull of a monstrous
wild boar which lie hsd killed in the
tules near the head of Twenty-one Mile
Slough last Saturday morning. The
circumstances attending the killing of
the animal are substantially as follows:
Early last Saturday morning one of the
men employed on the Christopher ranch
armed himself with a shotgun and went
into the tnles in search of game. He
had not proceeded far when he heard a
noise, As though some heavy animal was
forcing its way through the thick tangle
of the Iules that grew on either side of
the track A moment later the hunter
was startled by seeing an enormous wild
boar step from the brush a few feet in
front Of him and effectually blockade the
beaten track. The animal appealed to
be as much SURPRISED as the man, and
stood for a few seconds gazing at the
hunter. The latter turned and ran for q
small willow tree. The boar with an
angry snort gave chase. The man
dropped has gun and ''shinHedr up the
tree with alacrity, while the boar, fo;led
in obtaining his prey, went to work on
the trunk of the tree with his sharp
tusks. The hunter shouted himself
hozrse in the hope Of obtaining assist
anoe- His cries were heard bv Mr..
Christopher, who went to the rescue
armed with a rife. Upon seeing the
preiicament in which his msn was
placed, Christopher, when within easy
range of the boar, brought his rifle to
his shoulder and fired His aim was
certain, and with a shrill scream the
huge, savage animal dropped, mortally
wounded Another shot from Christie
piers rife finished tie business. As
soon as the fellow up the tree was sat
isfied beyond a reasonable doubt that
the boar was really dead. he hastened to
thank his rescuer, who had proved him.
self 4 friend in need. The boar weighed
80 pounds His tusks were fully four
inches long, and their edges were almost
as sharp as razors. Judging from the
seams that extended the full length of
each tusk, il was estimated that the an
imal was about sl years old. 1t Ia said
that the dead boar's mate has her quar-

IHE EDlIOh.
Naturally, neither this officer nor the
city editor can remain at his post both
day and night. 1t is, therefore, quite
common to have a night editor, who,
after the managing editor has left the
office, takes charge of the general max
ing up; directs on what page or in what
column each article shall go, and orders
changes in the arrangement whenever
forced to do so by an emergency; always
trying to carry out so far as he can the
orders given him by his superior. He
must hold in his mind complete mental
map of all the columns in the paper, and
remain on the spot until all the 'forms"
have gone to press. When late news
conflicts with an editorial already in
type and consigned to its place. the
night editor should be empowered to
throw out the editorial. His labor and
responsibility are frightfully exacting
and exhausting It used to be said that
